Crosscut’s U16/U18 programming is designed for new and returning biathletes ages 14-18. The U16/U18 team trains for nordic skiing and biathlon with the goal of competing in regional nordic and biathlon races. The program will include coaching in Nordic skiing and rifle marksmanship, Crosscut Mountain Sport Center passes, rifle use, ammunition for practices and races, and periodized ski training. All athletes will be expected to pass a rifle safety course (Red Book) annually. Any behavior that does not comply with Crosscut's safety standards will not be tolerated.

What do I need?

Participants in this program will need proper active wear for each season, watch and heart rate monitor, hydration at all sessions (drink belt or bottle holster), skate roller skis and safety equipment (bike helmet and high visibility color active shirts). For participants new to roller skiing the Club will provide roller skis with NNN bindings for participants to borrow initially. Participants of the U16/18 team may use club firearms, but as athletes become more serious the purchase of a firearm is recommended.
